This book gives a special emphasis to a spiritual interpretation of the Pentateuch in a manner that springs forth from and is based on the literal interpretation, in particular the actual words used in Hebrew. Although the presented spiritual interpretation is distinctly Catholic, in which Jesus Christ is the fulfillment of all the types contained in the Old Testament, this does not mean that the ancient Israelite people did not also read the Bible in a spiritual way, and their spiritual interpretation is also, at times, presented.
East and South East Asian History studies the historical development of countries that make up East Asia (China, Taiwan, Japan, Mongolia, North Korea, South Korea) and countries that make up South East Asia (Vietnam, Cambodia, Brunei, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, East Timor). Although each of these countries and each region has a unique identity, they also share common philosophies, customs, and practices. To bring out what the countries participate in common, we will study them together while respecting their uniqueness. We begin with Asian pre-history and conclude with modern East Asia.
Catholic Church History: Pre-Christian to Modern Times presents how the Catholic Church developed in time, from her earliest days up until modern times. Repeatedly the reader will encounter Christ¿s mystical presence extended through time by the Church as His body. The various aspects of the Church, such as prefigured, persecuted, mother, teacher, shepherd, and prophet, all are touched upon as the reader reads the Church¿s history. While presenting the Church in her full splendor and holiness in her pilgrim state on earth, borrowing words from the International Theological Commission, her ¿maternal solidarity¿ as she ¿assum[es] the weight of her children¿s faults in maternal solidarity¿ are also discussed.
This book engages the canonical prophetic literature of the Old Testament, demonstrating how it points to Christ and is fulfilled in Christ. Like Wisdom Literature, prophetic literature teaches perennial moral truths that reflect how God has created the universe, in particular how God created human beings as inherently social creatures in His image and likeness. Prophecy is, consequently, a gift that is given in all ages and time, that did not end with the Old Testament but continued in the New Testament and is still given today.
This book traces the history of East and South East Asia from ancient times to modern times. In the process, the reader is introduced to the various cultures, philosophies and religions from these two regions of Asia. Throughout the journey, continual reference is made to Catholic thought that is centered on Jesus who was born of a Western Asian woman, Mary. Topics of interest to Catholics that are discussed include how ancestor worship differs from ancestor veneration, the similarities and differences between Asian moral codes and Catholic morality, the role of honor and shame with respect to God, the earliest presence of Christians in East Asia, Catholic missionaries¿ love and protection of East Asian people, the unique lay founding of the Korean Catholic presence, the difference between Protestant evangelization in Asia from Catholic evangelization in Asia, and the morality of the U.S. nuclear bombing of Japan.
